Vitamin D is in milk and other fortified dairy products, egg yolks and fish oil.

Calcium also is in milk, cheese, yogurt, tofu and calcium-fortified orange juice.

Iron is in beef and other red meats, turkey, pork, spinach, beans and prunes.

Busy Life

However, for some lifestyles, achieving a balanced diet every single day can be downright difficult, if not impossible. Between work, school, practices and play dates, nutritious, home-cooked meals often fall by the wayside.

Medical conditions can also make healthy eating difficult, and medications to treat these conditions often add to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Plus, many kids are picky eaters who aren’t afraid to stare down a plate of carrots rather than letting one get near their lips.

In those cases, supplements can be a great option. They are also good for children who are incredibly active, are on a restricted diet such as vegetarian or dairy-free, or consume a lot of processed foods and soda – the main offerings of fast food restaurants.

Supplement Options

There are several vitamin and supplement options to help fill those gaps, even for the pickiest eaters.
